I'm a terrible mechanic, so I feel like I'm doing something wrong.
Symptoms: classic 12v battery death. My JGC 4xe would not start. Instrument panel rolodexed through error codes before everything went black.
Steps I tried to jump start w/ a 1000 amp Super Start:

Steps I tried to jump start w/ a 1000 amp Super Start:
- Connect positive cable to battery's positive remote terminal. Connect negative cable to grounding post.
- Turn on Super Start. Car immediately starts dinging, fans are going, dash is on
- Get in car, foot on brake, and hit the ignition button. No real change. (Waiting on my Super Start to recharge so the following is by memory.)
- IIRC the msgs are along the lines of 'car cannot be started with hood open'
- After ~5 minutes, the Super Start has discharged. Once disconnected, the screens are back to black.
